Eiviered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1877, 

BY HITCHCOCK & WALDEN, 

In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. 



Preface. 



SiTNDAY-sCHOOL officers and workers have 
frequently expressed a desire to have in con- 
nection with Sunday-school singing-books an 
edition containing the words only. 

In order to meet this demand, the publish- 
ers of Jasper and Gold issue this 

HYMN EDITION 

of that book. It contains all the hymns in 
the order in which they appear with the 
music. 

The hymns are numbered alike in the two 
editions, so they can be used together by 
simply announcing from either the number of 
the hymn. 

By adopting the two editions, Sunday-schools 
will not only have one of the most popular 
singing-books ever issued, but will be enabled 
thereby to materially reduce the usual cost for 
a full supply of books.

The Heavenly Jerusalem. J. & Gr.4>. 3. 

BY faith we already behold, 
The heavenly Jerusalem here; 
Its walls are of Jasper and Gold, 
•As crystal its buildings are clear. 

CHORUS. 

The city adorned with its Jasper and Gold, 

The home of the blest. 

By faith we already behold. 

2 Immovably founded in grace, 

It stands as it ever hath stood; 
And brightly its Builder displays, 
And flames with the glory of God. 

3 That city so holy and clean. 

Kg sorrow can breathe in the air; 
No gloom of affliction or sin, 
No shadow of evil is there. 



I Wothing Between. J. & G. p. 4 

" '\ ATE would see Jesus:" 

VV Show us thy loving face; 
Draw us, dear Lord, to thee. 
Close in thy fond embrace. 
Chorus. — Nothing between, dear Jesus, 
Nothing between; 
Oh come in love so near us, 
Nothing between. 



Jasper and Gold. 

"We would see Jesus:" 

Let us thy glory see; 
Shine with a brighter ray, 

Bidding the darkness flee. 
*'We would see Jesus:" 

Nothing of earthly din 
Coming, Lord, between; 

Nothing of pride or sin.

Sing of Jesus. J. & G. p. 5. 

ING of Jesus— of his mercy 



In the pardon of our sin ; 
Of the precious love that bought us, 
Of the blood that makes us clean. 
Refrain. — Sing of Jesus, sing of Jesus — 

Of the precious, precious Savior; 
Sing of Jesus, sing of Jesus, 
Sing his praise forever. 

2 Sing of Jesus — of his patience 

With our cold, unloving hearts; 
Of the tenderness that draws us; 
Of the grace that peace imparts. 

3 Sing of Jesus — of his goodness 

Crowning all our earthly days, 
Strewing blessings rich and countless. 
All along life's devious ways. 



On the Shoals. J. <t G. p. 6. 

A CRY conies over the deep. 
Wailing of dying souls, 
*T is echoed in every heart, 

"Brothers are on the shoals;" 
The breakers are dashing high. 

And death is in every wave, 
And wildly ringeth the cry, 
"We perish with none to save." 



Hymns. 

Chokus. — Eing out the tide of song, 

While prayer its burden rolls, 
That he who rules the storm 
Will bring them off the shoals. 

2 Sweet hope went out with the day 

Rudder and compass lostj 
Despair more dark than the night, 

Crowneth the tempest tossed; 
No help may come from the sea, 
Ko succor from the land; 
Say, must they perish, and we 

Reach never to them a hand? 

3 Quick I point to the saving Rock 

Looming from out the deep, 
Whose beacon the periled souls 

Ever will safely keep; 
No matter how fierce the storm — 

How madly the billow rolls. 
The light of the Guiding Star 

Will bring them ofi'the shoals.

Onward, Christian Soldiers. J. i G. p. 7. 

^NWARD, Christian soldiers, 
Marching as to war. 
With the cross of Jesus 

Going on before; 
Christ, the Royal Master, 

Leads against the foe, 
Forward, into battle. 
See, his banners go. 
Rbfrain. — Onward, Christian soldiers, 
Fearing not the foe, 
In the name of Jesus, 
Onward let us go. 
2 Like a mighty army 

Moves the Church of God ; 
Brothers, we are treading 
Where the saints have trod ; 



8 Jasper and Gold. 

We are not divided, 

All one body we, 
One in hope and doctrine, 

One in charity. 
3 Onward, then, ye people, 

Join our happy throng; 
Blend with ours your voices 

In the triumph song; 
Glory, praise, and honor 

Unto Christ the King-; 
This through countless ages 

Men and angels sing. 

6 Seed Time and Harvest. J. & G. p. 8. 

THERE *S seed time and harvest, but who can 
foretell. 
If what we have sown we shall gather as well? 
The drought or the tempest may come to destroy 
The rich fields of labor we hoped to enjoy ; 
Or life may be harvested ere we can know, 
Whether God will increase what in weakness we 
sow. 

2 When the Lord of the vineyard shall come and 

shall call. 
For the labor he needs does it matter at all 
To the servant who scatters the seed in theground. 
If his name with the harvesters never is found? 
He 's bidden to sow, though he never may reap, 
But the Lord of the vineyard his record will keep, 

3 It may be the seed which is given to sow 

May seem to us worthless — too broken to grow, 
But why should we question the wisdom which 

plans 
The thoughts of our hearts, and the work of our 

hands? 
In faith if we sow as the Lord shall provide. 
He will give us our wages — what need we be- 
side? 



Hymns. 9 

4 There 's seed-time and harvest, and always will 

be 
For those who will labor, though many may see 
A stranger's hand reaping in fields they have 

sown, 
While they gather harvests where others havo 

strewn ; 
And many may sow, yet they never may reap ; 
But the Lord of the vineyard their record will 

keep. 

7 Our Home Beyond. J. & G. p. 9. 

OUH home beyond, forever fair. 
Beautiful world of peace; 
No sin nor death can enter there; 

Beautiful world of peace. 
The tears of grief, the pangs of woe. 
Our hearts no more shall ever know. 

Chorus.— Our home beyond, our home beyond, 
The beautiful world of peace. 

2 Our home beyond, the land of rest, 
In thee our souls are ever blest; 
Dear Lord of love, we are in thee, 
From sin forever more set free. 

3 Our home beyond thy gates of light, 
Soon, soon will greet our yearning sight; 
And soon our feet shall touch thy shore, 
To tread the ways of earth no more. 



g The Wame of Jesus. J. & G. p. la 

THERE is a name I love to hear, 
I love to speak its worth ; 
It sounds like music in my ear — 
The sweetest name on earth. 
Chobus. — The dearest name in earth or heaven 
Is to our Lord and Master given; 
On him alone my hopes depend. 
On him our best and nearest friend. 



10 Jasper and Gold. 

2 It tells me of a Savior's love, 
Who died to set me free; 
It tells me of his precious blood, 
The sinner's perfect plea. 
8 Jesus the name I love so well. 
The name I love to hear, 
No saint on earth its worth can tell, 
No heart conceive how dear. 



Always 'With Ua. J. & G. p. 11. 

IN our homes and on our way, 
Christ is with us all the day; 
Thrills above us such a song — 
Burns within us such a fire, 
That our footsteps never tire. 
As we journey hence along. 
Chobus. — I : Oh how sweet his presence is I 
He is ours, and we are his. : I 

2 Evening shadows one by one 
Mark our journey nearly done — 
And we turn aside for rest; 
Jesus Master, know before. 
Tarry with us evermore ; 

Thou our Guide, be thou our Guest. 

3 Risen for us from the grave. 
Mighty Savior, save, oh save I 
Hide we now ourselves in thee, 
Besurrection is achieved ; 
Seeing not, we have believed: 
Blessed ones indeed are wel 



10 Always 'With. Jesus. J. & G. p. 12. 

ANYWHERE with Jesus, saith the Chris- 
tian heart. 
Take me where he willeth, so we do not part; 
Always with him near me there 'a no room for 

fears. 
Anywhere with Jesus, in this vale of tears. 



Hymns. 11 

CH0RU3. 

Anywhere with Jesus, every-where I go, 
He shall be my leader trav'ling here below; 
Near his side abiding there 's no room for 

fears. 
Anywhere with Jesus in this vale of tears. 

Anywhere with Jesus, the* he leadeth me 
Where the path is roughest, and where dangers 

be; 
Tho' he taketh from me all I love below, 
Anywhere with Jesus will I gladly go 
Anywhere with Jesus, for it can not be 
Dreary, dark, or lonely, where he is with me; 
He will love me alway, every need supply, 
Anywhere with Jesus should I live or die. 

11 The Voice of Jesus. J. & G. p. 13. 

HEARD the voice of Jesus say, 
" Come unto me and rest; 
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down 

Thy head upon my breast." 
I came to Jesus as I was, 

Weary and worn and sad; 

I found in him a resting place. 

And he has made we glad. 

2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 
** Behold I freely give 

The living water, thirsty one, 
Stoop down and drink and live." 

I came to Jesus, and I drank 
Of that life-giving stream; 

My thirst was quenched, my soul revived. 
And now I live in him. 

3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 
"I am this dark world's light; 

Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, 
And all thy day be bright." 



I 



12 Jasper and Gold. 

1 looked to Jesus, and I found 

In him my star, my sun ; 
And in that light of life I '11 walk; 
Till all my journey 's done. 

12 Leaning on Thee. J. & G. p. 14. 

LEANING on thee, my Guide and Friend, 
My gracious Savior, I am blest j 
Though weary thou dost condescend 
To be my rest. 
Refrain. — Leaning on thee, leaning on thee, 
Jesus, on thee alone. 
I : Leaning on thee, s I 
On thee alone. 

2 Leaning on thee, with child-like faith. 

To thee the future I confide; 
Each step of life's untrodden path 
Thy love will guide. 

3 Leaning on thee, tho* faint and weak, 

Too weak another voice to hear; 
Thy heavenly accents comfort speak, 
'* Be of good cheer." 

13 ToU On. J. <kap.l* 

THRUST in the sickle, reap for God, 
Behold the ripening grain; 
A glorious harvest soon will prove 
Our labor not in vain. 
Refrain. — Toil on, toil on, 

Let not our vigor wane; 
How sweet to know the faithful here 
Shall labor not in vain. 

2 The gleaners soon will gather in 

With joy their precious gain ; 
The weakest Christian soul will find 
His labor not in vain. 



Hymns. 13 

3 The welcome song of harvest home 

We'll sing o*er hill and plain, 
And angel choirs take up the theme, 
We labored not in vain. 

4 But sweeter far than harps of gold, 

When he, who once was slain. 
Shall say to all his toiling ones, 
Ye labored not in vain. 



14 The Ever-Present Jesus. J. & G. p. 16 

HIS name yields the richest perfume, 
And sweeter than music his voice; 
His presence disperses my gloom, 
And makes all within me rejoice. 
Chorus. — Precious name, how dear, 

Faithful friend, always near; 

Ever be thou my guide. 

Keep, keep me forever near thy side. 

2 Content with beholding his face, 

My all to his pleasure resigned. 
No changes of season or place 

Would make any change in my mind. 

3 While blest Avith a sense of his love, 

A palace a toy would appear; 
And prisons would palaces prove, 
If Jesus would dwell with me there. 



15 Draw me Closer to Thee. J. & G. p. 17 

CLOSER to thee, my Father, draw me ; 
I long for thine embrace: 
Closer within thine arms enfold me; 
I seek a resting place. 
Chorus. — Closer with the cords of love. 
Draw me to thyself above. 
Closer, draw me to thyself above. 
2 Closer to thee, my Savior, draw me, 
Nor let me leave thee more; 



14 Jasper and Gold. 

Sighing to feel thine arms around me, 
And all my wand'rings o'er. 

3 Closer by thy sweet spirit draw me, 
Till I am wholly thine; 
Quicken, refine, and wash and cleanse me, 
Till pure my soul shall shine. 



16 I Cast my Soul on Thee. J. & G. p. l» 

AMID the shadows and the fears 
That overcloud this home of tears; 
Amid my poverty and sin, 
The tempest and the war within: 

Chorus. — I cast my soul on thee, 

Jesus thou Son of God, 
Mighty to save, mighty to save. 
Even me, even me. 

2 Mine is a day of fear and strife, 

A needy soul, a needy life, 
A needy world, a needy age, 
Yet, in my perilous pilgrimage, 

3 On thee I rest, thy love and grace 

Are my sole rock and resting place; 
In thee my thirst and hunger sore. 
Lord, let me quench for evermore. 



17 "Walking the Sea. J. & G. p. 19. 

THERE'S a light on the dark and surging 
deep. 
That shines when the loud winds roar. 
And the form of the Friend who does not sleep 

Comes on from the other shore. 
Walking the sea to you and to me. 

Keeping the light of us, e'er to befriend, 
Ever in sight of us succor to lend. 
Walking the sea, walking the sea. 



Hymns. 15 

2 There *s a light in the depths of surging life 

That shineth forever more, 
And the friend who would stay all sin and striflf 

Is here from the other shore, 
Walking life's sea, to you and to me, 

"Walking so carefully, seeking to find. 
Ever so prayerfully earnest and kind. 

Walking the sea, walking the sea. 

3 There 's a 1 ight in the depths of Christian hearts 

That gleams on the crown before. 
And the Savior, whose love a bliss imparts, 

Attends to the other shore; 
"Walking life's sea with you and with me. 

Keeping in reach of us, watching for all, 
Caring for each of us lest we should fall. 

Walking the sea, walking the sea. 



18 Live for God. J. & G. p. 20^ 

HARK I a warning voice within. 
Live for God, live for God ; 
Kow the Christian life begin. 

Live for God, live for God. 
Love the right, forsake the wrong; 
We are weak, but he is strong; 
Let his goodness be our song, 
Live for God, live for God. 

Refrain. — Let us all live for God, 
Let us all live for God, 
Marching onward, looking upward, 
Let us all live for God. 

2 Early choose the better part. 
With an humble, trusting heart. 
Learn the yoke of Christ to bear, 
Welcome burden, toil and care, 
Faithful, watching unto pray'r.

Since on thy arm thou bidd'st me lean. 
Help me throughout life's varying scene, 
By faith to cling to thee. 



O 



Hymns. 17 

Refrain. — Cling to thee, cling to thee, 

Help me, Savior, to cling to thee. 

2 What tho' the world deceitful prove, 
And earthly friends and hopes remove, 
With patient, uncomplaining love 

Still would I cling to thee. 

3 Tho' faith and hope may long be tried, 
I ask not, need not aught beside; 
How safe, how calm, how satisfied 

The soul that clings to thee. 



21 Abide with Me. J. & G. p. 22. 

ABIDE with me,- fast falls the eventide, 
The darkness deepens: Lord, with Ine 
abide; 
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, 
Help of the helpless, abide with me I 

2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; 
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away: 
Change and decay in all around I see, 

thou who changest not, abide with me I 

3 I need thy presence every passing hour; 
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's 

power ? 
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be ? 
Thro' cloud and sunshine. Lord, abide with 

me! 

22 "^ill You go with Mo. J. & G. p. 23. 

A BEAUTIFUL land by faith I see, 
A land of rest from sorrow free.

And beautiful angels, too, are there.

Go to that beautiful land with me? : I

18 Jasper and Gold. 

2 That beautiful land, where all is light, 
It ne'er has known the shades of night, 
The glory of God, the light of day. 
Hath driven the darkness far away. 

3 The heavenly throng arrayed in white. 
In rapture range the plains of light; 

In harmony grand and pure they praise 
Their glorious Savior's matchless grace. 



23 Something to do. J. & G. p. 24. 

WE sing ''There'll be something for chil- , 
dren to do ' 

In heaven, that beautiful land." 
But there' s something on earth here for each 

one to do, 
And employment for every hand. 

Refrain. 
Something to do, something to do. 
Something for each and for all to do. 
There 's plenty to do, there 's plenty to do, 
Yes, plenty for young and for old to do. 

2 There are parents to honor, respect, and to loY^, 

And all their commands to obey ; 
For this is the will of our Father above, 
And is to be done every day. 

3 There are many, so many kind words to be said, 

So many good deeds to be done; 
To ''Stand up for Jesus," the Truth and the! 
Right, ! 

And every thing evil to shun. 

4 Let us all as we journey along here below, 

Do the good that may be in our way; 
Be preparing for heaven as older we grow, 
Finding some good to do every day.

They Ml help fill the storehouse at last. 

CHORUS. 

We will work, we will work; 
We will work while yet it is day :

15 No Love like the Love of Jesus. 

J. &. G. p. 

THERE is no love like the love of Jesus, 
I^ever to fade or fall, 
Till into the fold of the peace of God, 
He has gathered us all. 

Chorus. — Jesus' love, precious love. 

Boundless, pure, and free I 
Jesus' love, precious love, 
boundless, pure, and free I 



20 Jasper and Gold. 

2 There is no heart like the heart of Jesus, 

Filled with a tender love, 
No throb or throe that our hearts can know. 
But he feels it above. 

3 There is no eye like the eye of Jesus, 

Piercing so far away, 
Ne'er out of the sight of its tender light, 
Can the wanderer stray. 

4 let us hark to the voice of Jesus, 

may we never roam 
Till safely we rest on his loving breast, 
In the dear heav'nly home. 



26 Home of the Soul. J. & G. p. 26. - 

IAVILL sing you a song of that beautiful land. 
The far away home of the soul, 
Where no storms ever beat on the glittering 
strand, 
While the years of eternity roll. 

2 That unchangeable home is for you and for me,j 

Where Jesus of Nazareth stands ; 
The King of all kingdoms forever is he, 
And he holdeth our crowns in his hands. 

3 how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, ■ 

So free from all sorrow and pain! 
With songs on our lips, and with harps in ourj 
hands, 
To meet one another again. 



2 7 Trusting Jesus, that is all. J. & G. p. 21 j

Trusting him till earth is past — 
Till within the jasper wall — 
Trusting Jesus, that is all. 

2 Singing, if my way is clear; 
Praying if the path is drear; 
If in danger, for him call — 
Trusting Jesus, that is all. 

3 Trusting as the moments fly. 
Trusting as the days go hy, 
Trusting him whate'er befall — 
Trusting Jesus, that is all. 



28 Look to the Shore. J. & G. p. 28- 

LOOK to the shore, brother, look to the shore. 
Fear not the tempests that wildly roar; 
Tho' lifers deep billows should oft whelm you 

o'er, 
Strike thro' their foaming rage and look to the 
shore: 

Refrain. 
Look to the shore, look to the shore, 

When mocked by toil and strife; 
look to the shore. 
Look to the shore, look to the shore; 
Turn from the storms of life and look to the 
shore. 

2 Look to the shore, brother, look to the shore, 
Thro' deeper surges Christ passed before; 
'Mid daily burdens, think what he bore. 
Cling to hope's anchor still, and look to the shore, 

3 Look to the shore, brother, look to the shore. 
Seek there to rest when life shall be o'er; 
See thro' the breakers the glory in store. 

Cast off your doubts and fears, and look to the 
shore,

^ Up and be Doing. J. & G. p. 29. 'f 

UP, heir of heaven, 
The present is thine; 
Ne'er was it given 

Therein to repine ; 
Hopes may have faded, 

And flowers have died, 
Others, love-shaded. 
Still bloom at thy side. 

2 Up and be doing 

With heart, hand, and mind, 
Something pursuing 

Of good to mankind; 
Willingness ever 

Hath light by the way, 
Bark on life's river 

Moor not while *t is day. 

3 Up and be doing, 

With banner unfurled. 
Angels are viewing 

Thy strife with the world ; 
Soon will be given 

Eternal reward. 
Up, heir of heaven. 

And work for thy Lord.

By each an angel placed. ,

Nor yet that throne to see — 
That I would pray, "0, may my home 

Be found at last in thee," 
No ear^jbly eye I know hath seen 

The glories that are thine. 
Nor ear hath heard such strains as rise 

From 'mid the host divine. 

3 But ! than all thy streets can boast 

My eager eyes would see; 
Jesus, the precious Lamb of God, 

Who died to ransom me! 
'^Jerusalem! Jerusalem! 

Name ever dear to me, 
may at last my name be found" 

With Christ, my Lord, in thee.

Where all is perfect bliss.

There, there, over, over there; 
Singing with the angels,

Of a better life than this. 
Where there is no conflict, and no strife, 
Where all is perfect peace.

Where joys shall never cease.

Beyond the narrow sea,

Hymns. 25 

2 The pilgrim weary and weak in faith 

Hath smiled in its beams afar, 
One died to redeem him, *t is he who saith: 
"I 'm the Bright and Morning Star." 

3 narrow and rugged, the blood-bought way, 

That leads to the pearly bar, 
But they who pass it shall walk for aye 
By the light of the Morning ^tar. 

4 Shall trial and sorrow, so sure to come, 

The peace of the Spirit mar? 
Kay, brightest in gloom is the light of home. 
Of the Bright and Morning Star.

To take away our fears. 

3 Rejoice, yes, rejoice. 

Since Jesus reigns as King; 
Rejoice, his scepter to obey. 
And grateful tribute bring. 

4 Rejoice, yes, rejoice, 

Since death is captive led; 
Christ nailed the tyrant to his cross, 
And rose our living Head.

Sing to the wilderness, 

Praise ye the Lord, pay your homage to him.

Tribes and dominions that people the world, 
Where 'er the sun sheds its glowing carnations. 

There let your standards of praise be unfurled

Ringing shall send reply, 
Back from the farthermost wandering star. 

Shout till your songs of love 
Peal thro' the air above. 

Bearing your song to the mountains afar.

Kindly Light, leading pilgrims on. 
Thee we praise in a grateful hymn of gladness, 

With the Father and Holy Son.

Chorus. — Ko book is like the Bible, 

The blessed book we love; 
The pilgrim's chart of glory, 
It leads to God above.

His sad primeval fall; 
It tells of man's redemption. 

Thro' Christ who died for all. 
In sacred words of wisdom. 

It bids us watch and pray, 
And early come to Jesus, 

The Life, the Truth, the Way.

And praise it more and more;

The counsel God has given. 
We then may hope with angels 

To sing his praise in heaven.

While he for thee is caring. 

4 What doest thou? Go on thy way, 

Thy work, thy Lord providing; 
Thy strength conferring day by day, 
Thy steps his Spirit guiding.

For me to intercede; 
His all-redeeming love, 

His precious blood to plead. 
His blood atoned for all our race, 
And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 

3 The Father hears him pray, 

His dear anointed One; 
He can not turn away 

The presence of his Son: 
His Spirit answers to the blood, 
And tells me I am born of God. 

4 My God is reconciled; 

His pard'uing voice I hear; 
He owns me for his child; 

I can no longer fear. 
With confidence I now draw nigh,

Who giveth thy daily bread.

For by his hand he leadeth me. 
2 Sometimes *mid scenes of deepest gloom. 
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom. 
By waters still, o'er troubled sea — 
Still 't is his hand that leadeth me. 



Hymns. 45 

3 Lord, I would clasp thv hand in mine, 
Nor ever murmur nor repine; 
Content, whatever lot I see, 

Since 't is my God that leadeth me. 

4 And when mj task on earth is done; 
When, by thy grace the victory 's won, 
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, 
Since God thro' Jordan leadeth me. 



;4t Friend After Friend Departs. 

J. & G. p. 61. 

FRIEND after friend departs. 
Who hath not lost a friend? 
There is no union here of hearts 

That finds not here an endj 
Were this frail world our only rest, 
Living or dying none were blest. 

2 There is a world above, 

Where parting is unknown; 
A whole eternity of love, 

Form'd for the good alone. 
And faith beholds the dying here 

Translated to that happier sphere. 

3 Thus star by star declines 

Till all are passed away. 
As morning high and higher shines 
To pure and perfect day; 
Kor sink those stars in empty night; 
They hide themselves in heaven's own light. 



The Great Physician. J. & G. p. 61. 

THE great Physician now is near, 
The sympathizing Jesus; 
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

And wear a crown with Jesus.

The precious name of Jesus.

TELL me the old, old story 
Of unseen things above, 
Of Jesus and his glory, 

Of Jesus and his love;

As to a little child, 
For I am weak and weary, 
And helpless and defiled.

Tell me the old, old story.

Is dawning on my soul, 
Tell me the old, old story,

With the songs that come up to the Savior en-

At the throne of the Father to swell it and ring it. 
With the angels who make it thro' Paradise

Think that perhaps you must share i n their doom.

The cruel Moloch of the cup, 

As pitiless as fate,

Before this dreadful foe. 
Whose treach'rous power his soul assails, 

And lays his honor low. 
Into the paradise of home 

The cruel serpent crawls; 
Before the monster's poisoned breath 

Love, truth, and reason falls.

Give us thy strength to bear 
Above the waves our loved ones up 

On wings of laith and prayer j

Beneath whose surging waves 
A hundred thousand souls each year 

Sink to dishonored graves.

And my sins he will wash all away ; 
And the feet that now stumble and falter 
Soon may enter the gate of day.

Go work in my vineyard, there '3 plenty to do, 

Go work, go work. 
The harvest is great, and the laborers are few.

In pain and temptation, in anguish and shame, 
I paid thy full ransom, my purchase I claim.

Tiiy strength I '11 supply and thy wages I '11 pay ; 

And blessed, thrice blessed the diligent lew, 

Who '11 finish the labor I 've given them to do.

In Summer's soft light, 
The winds blowing freshly and free; 
Go forth, ye, and gather, 
Ere falleth the night. 
The gold of the harvest for me.

~Y country 't is of thee.

Land where my fathers died, 
Land of the pilgrim's pride.

Let freedom ring.

Land of the noble free, 

Thy name I love; 
I love thy rocks and rills, 
Thy woods and templed hills, 
My heart with rapture thrills 

Like that above.

And ring from all the trees 

Sweet freedom's song ; 
Let mortal tongues awake. 
Let all that breathe partake, 
Let rocks their silence break, 

The sound prolong.

Author of liberty, 

To thee, we sing;

With freedom's holy light;

Waiting still for sweet release, 
Nothing left but heaven and prayer,

We may run and weary never. 
Daily pressing on till the goal be won, 
Unto Jesus looking ever.

He will keep our feet i'rom falling; 
We will sure obtain, nor have run in vain, 
For the prize of God's high calling.

J. & G. p. 99. 

WHEN earth's boist'rous storms arising, 
Would engulf my feeble bark, 
And my feet are worn and weary, 

And my soul is sad and dark; 
"When around my heart perdition 

All its fiery darts doth fling, 
Then, dear Savior, hide me, hide me 
'Neath the shadow of thy wing. 

2 With a friend like thee, dear Savior, 

I should never feel alarm, 
For no matter what the danger. 

Thou canst keep me from all harm. 
But oft doubts and fears surround me — 

Life to all some cares will bring; 
To the end, Savior, keep, me, 

'Neath the shadow of thy wing. 

3 And when here my days are ended. 

When life's cares and fears are o'er. 
To that land where dwell the angels. 

Take my spirit everniore. 
Where, with heavenly joys enraptured. 

All my soul shall sweetly sing 
Praises unto thee while resting 

'Neath the shadow of thy wing.

~0W drear is the wilderness way. 
How many the dangers we meet.

To cheer our faint hearts in the gloom, 
When ended life*s sorrows and pains, 
The angels will welcome us home.

Welcome us home, welcome us home, 
With heavenly music as homeward we come,

While grief sits supreme in the heart, 
What peace cometh down from above. 

They never will smile on us more 

While thro' the bleak desert we roam ; 

Yet safe on the ever green shore, 
The angels will welcome us home. 

3 *T is only a little way o'er. 
This wearisome pilgrimage ends, 

There trials and labors are gone, 
The sun in our heaven descends,

When the shades of night descending, 
We are at thy footstool bending.

For a death thy name confessing.

110 The Ninety and Nine. J. & G. p. 112. 

THERE were ninety and nine that safely lay 
In the shelter of the fold. 
But one was out on the hills away, 

Far off from the gates of gold, 
Away on the mountains wild and bare, 
Away from the tender Shepherd's care. 
**Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and nine, 

Are they not enough for thee?'* 
But the Shepherd answered, *A sheep of mine 

Has wandered away from me;" 
And altho' the road be rough and steep, 
I go to the desert to find my sheep. 
6 



82 Jasper and Gold. 

3 But none of the ransomed ever knew 

How deep were the waters crossed, 
Kor how dark was the nightthe Lord passed thro', 

Ere he found the slieep that was lost; 
Far out in the desert he heard its cry — 
*T was helpless and sick and ready to die. 

4 '* Lord, whence are those blood-drops all the way 

That mark out the mountain's trtick?" 
^*They were shed for one who had gone astray, 

Ere the Shepherd could bring him back." 
*' Lord whence are thy hands so rent and torn ?" 
"They are pierced to-night by many a thorn." 
6 And all through the mountains, thunder riven, 

And up from a rocky steep 
There rose a cry to the gate of heaven, 

"Rejoice! I have found my sheep!" 
And the angels echoed around the ihrone, 
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own " 

117 One Sweetly Solemn Thought.

Yes, nearer to "the shining shore," 
I 'm nearer home, I 'm nearer home, 
Than ever I have been before.

Where many mansions be; 
Nearer the great white throne, 
Kearer the crystal sea.

Will lay our burdens down; \ 
Nearer to leave the cross, 

Nearer to wear the crown.

WAND'RER, come to Jesus, 
For he will give thee rest;

Poor wand'ring one, come in.

Poor wand'ring one, come in.

In faith at Jesus' feet; 

And through his precious merits 
Now plead the promise sweet: 

That all who come repenting. 
And on his name believe. 

Shall, at the door of mercy, 
His welcome smile receive. 

3 Thy heart is sick and weary. 
It longs to be forgiven ; 

Come, walk as Jesus bids thee, 
The way that leads to heaven. 

He '11 pardon thy transgreesions, 
And cleanse thee from thy sin; 

He '11 make thee his forever, 
Poor wandering one, come in.

Dropping like the gentle rain, 
Words of comfort in thy ear, 
"Words of promise ever dear. 

3 See, his arm is round thee thrown,' 
He would seal thee now his own;

Wilt thou wait in unbelief?

Come, behold the living way; 
Come, by all my love for thee, 
Now be reconciled to me.

He will — the very friend you need.

The friend of sinners? Yes, 'tis he, 
With garments dyed on Calvary.

Admit him, or the hour 's at hand, 
You '11 at his door rejected stand.

If you heed his voice and calling, 
To the fields of golden grain.

Trying precious souls to win? 
Who will for the Lord of harvest 
Lead them from the paths of sin ?

While his dear cross appears;

Boon shall the shades be gone, 
Soon will the morning dawn,

Still all my song shall be,

The sun gone down, 
Darkness conies over me. 

My rest a stone, 
Yet in my dreams I *d be 
Nearer, my God, to thee. 

Nearer to thee. 

3 There let my way appear 

Steps unto heaven j 
All that thou sendest me. 

In mercy given ; 
Angels to beckon me 
Nearer, my God, to thee, 

Nearer to thee.

Cleaving the sky, 
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, 

Upward I fly, 
Still all my song shall be. 
Nearer, my God, to thee, 

Nearer to thee.

Come, and thy people bless 
And give thy word success.

THUS far the Lord hath led me on — 
Thus far his power prolongs my days. 
And every evening shall make known 
Some fresh memorial of his grace. 

2 Much of my time has run to waste, 

And I, perhaps, am near my home, 
But he forgives my follies past. 

And gives me strength for days to come. 

3 I lay my body down to sleep, ; 

Peace is the pillow for my head. 
While well-appointed angels keep 

Their watchful stations round my bed. 

154 Opening Hymn. J. & G. p. 140.

For parei]ts, teachers, foes, and friends;

And ])raise thee in more lofty strains, 
Where one eternal Sabbath reigns.

Stand forth thy chosen witnesses;

He lives, to plead for me above ; 
He lives, my hungry soul to feed;

What joy the blest assurance gives— 
I know that my Eedeemer lives.

THINE earthly Sabbath, Lord, we love, 
But there *s a nobler rest above j 
To that our lab'ring souls aspire, 
With cheerful hope and strong desire.

Nor sin nor hell shall reach the place; 
No sighs shall mingle with the songs 
Which warble from immortal tongues.

No cares to break the long repose, 
No midnight shade, no cloude^ sun, 
But sacred, high, eternal noon.

A faith thou must thyself impart; 
A faith that would by works be shown, 
A faith that purifies the heart.

The faith in thy all-cleansing blood; 
The faith which doth for sinners speak, 
let it speak us up to God ! 

IGl Entirely Thine. J. & G. p. 141. 

LORD, I am thine, entirely thine, 
Purchased and saved by blood divine, 
With full consent thine I would be.

Be thine through all eternity. 

The vow is past beyond repeal; 
And now I set the solemn seal.

That bought my guilty soul for God — 
Thee, my new Master, now I call, 

And consecrate co thee my all.

Freely let me take of thee; 
Spring thou up within my heart, 

Eise to all eternity.

202 The Increasing Flame. J. & G. p. 149. 

1EE how great a flame aspires, 
Kindled by a spark of grace! 
Jesus* love the nations fires — 

Sets the kingdoms on a blaze. 
To bring fire on earth he came; 
Kindled in some hearts it is; 
that all might catch the flame, 
All partake the glorious bliss. 

2 Sons of God, your Savior praise! 
He the door hath opened wide; 

He hath given the word of grace, 

Jesus' word is glorified. 
Jesus, mighty to redeem, 

He alone the work hath wrought; 
Worthy is the work of him, 

Him who spake a world from naught. 

3 Saw ye not the cloud arise, 
Little as a human hand? 

Now it spreads along the skies. 
Hangs o'er all the thirsty land; 

Lol the promise of a shower 
Drops already from above, 

But the Lord will shortly pour 
All the spirit of his love. 



Rock of Ages. J. &G. p. 149 

ROCK of Ages, cleft for me, 
Let me hide myself in thee; 
Let the water and the blood. 
From thy wounded side which flowed, 
Be of sin the double cure — 
Save from wrath and make me pure. 



128 Jasper and Gold. 

2 Could my tears forever flow— 
Could my zeal no languor know — 
These for sin could not atone j 
Thou must save and thou alone: 
In my hand no price I bring, 
Simply to the cross I cling. 

3 While I draw this fleeting breath, 
When my eyes shall close in death, 
When I rise to worlds unknown. 
And behold thee on thy throne — 
Rock of Ages, cleft for me. 

Let me hide myself in thee.

Foes may hate, and friends disown me. 

Show thy face and all is bright.

TT^AVENLY Father, grant thy blessing,

Nothing worthy can we bring; 
Yet thy book of love hath taught us 

Thou wilt kindly bow thine ear, 
For the sake of him who bought us. 

We may call, and thou wilt hear. 
2 What a boon to us is given, 

Thus to lift our voice on high I 
Well assured the ear of heaven 

Hears our wants and will supply. 
Weak and sinful— 0, how often 

Must we look to God alone, 
For his grace our hearts to soften 

And sustain us, as his own. 

207 Persevere. j. & g. p. 150.

Zion, kept by power divine; 
All her foes shall be confounded. 
Though the world in arms combine : 

Happy Zion —

Mothers cease their own to cherish. 

Heaven and earth at last remove, 

But no changes 
Can attend Jehovah's love. .

Thence to bring thee fortii more bright.

COME, thou fount of every blessing, 
Tune ray heart to sing thy grace; 
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, 
Call for songs of loudest praise. 
Teach me some melodious sonnet, 
Sung by flaming tongues above; 
Praise the mount, I 'm fixed upon it, 
Mount of thy redeeming love. 

2 Here I *11 raise mine Ebenezer; 

Hither by thy help I 'm come; 
And I hope, by thy good pleasure, 

Safely to arrive at home. 
Jesus sought me when a stranger, 

Wand'ring from the fold of God, 
He, to rescue me from danger, 

Interposed his precious blood. 

4 to grace how great a debtor 

Daily I 'm constrained to be I 
Let thy goodness, like a fetter. 

Bind my wand'ring heart to thee. 
Prone to wander. Lord, I feel it — 

Prone to leave the God I love, 
Here 's my heart, take and seal it, 

Seal it for thy courts above.

And all will be right.

Let others be blest; 

Go, give them the sunshine; 
Tell Jesus the rest. 



213 The Unforgotten. J. & G. p. 152. 

SILENTLY the shades of evening 
Gather round our chapel door; 
Silently they bring before us 
Faces we shall see no more. 

2 the lost, the unforgotten I 

Though the world be oft forgot; 
the shrouded and the lonely! 
In our hearts they perish not.

We still hoping for its end.

Mercv streaming in his blood; 
Precious drops my soul bedewing, 
Plead, and claim my peace with God.

215 Keep on Praying. J. & G. p. 153 

OXG my spirit pined in sorrow, 
Watching, waiting all in vain; 
Waiting for a golden morrow, 

Free from worldly care and pain; 
When I heard a sweet voice saying, 

In the accents of a friend. 
Cheer up, brother; *^Keep on praying," 
Keep on praying to the end. 

2 Ye who sigh for holy pleasures. 

Ye who mourn your load of sin. 
"Keep on praying;'' heavenly treasures 

In the end you 're sure to win. 
Wrestle with the Lord of glory. 

Lay your treasures at his feet; 
Plead with faith in Calvary's story, 

Till your joys are all complete. 



216 Our Greatest Friend. J. & G. p. 153 

WHAT a friend we have in Jesus, 
All our sins and griefs to bear; 
What a privilege to carry 

Every thing to God in prayer. 
what peace we often forfeit! 

What needless pain we bearl 
All because we do not carry 
Every thing to God in prayer. 



Hymns. 135 

2 Have we trials and temptations? 

Is there trouble anywhere? 
We should never be discouraged; 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 
Can we find a friend so faithful, 

Who will all our sorrows share? 
Jesus knows our every weakness, 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 

3 Are we weak and heavy laden, 

.Cumbered with a load of care? 
Precious Savior, still our refuge, 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 
Bo thy friends despise, forsake thee? 

Take it to the Lord in prayer ; 
In his arms he '11 take and shield thee; 

Thou wilt find a solace there. 



217 The Gate Ajar. J. & G. p. 153. 

THEEE is a gate that stands ajar, 
And through its portals gleaming 
A radiance from the cross afar, 
The Savior's love revealing. 
Refrain. — depth of mercy I can it be, 

That gate was left ajar for me? 

2 That gate ajar stands free for all 

Who seek through it salvation — 
The rich and poor, the great and small, 
Of every tribe and nation. 

3 Beyond the river's brink we '11 lay 

The cross that here is given, 
And bear the crown of life away, 
And love him more in heaven. 



218 The Millennial Dawn. J. & G. p. 154. 

THE morning light is breaking; 
The darkness disappears;

Each breeze that sweeps the ocean 
Brings tidings from afar 

Of nations in commotion, 
Prepared for Zion's war. 

2 Blest river of salvation, 

Pursue thy onward way; 
Flow thou to every nation, 

Nor in thy richness stay; 
Stay not till all the lowly 

Triumphant reach their home; 
Stay not till all the holy 

Proclaim, **The Lord is comel"

That I should ever be 
Afraid to wear thy color, 

Or blush to follow thee. 

Ashamed to be a Christian, 

To love my God and Kingl 
The fire of zeal is burning. 

My soul is on the wing. 
I want a faith made perfect, 

That all the world may see, 
I stand a living witness 

Of mercy, rich and free. 



I 



221 I'ike Jesus. J. & G. p. 154. 

WANT to be like Jesus, 
So lowly and so meek; 
For no one marked an angry word, 

That ever heard him speak. 
I want to be like Jesus, 

So frequently in prayer; 

Alone upon the mountain top, 

He met his father there. 

2 I want to be like Jesus; 

I never, never find 
That he, though persecuted, was 

To any one unkind. 
I want to be like Jesus, 

Engaged in doing good. 
So that of me it may be said, 

*^She hath done what she could." 



222 Security and Safety. J. & G. p. 154 

SEE the Gospel Church secure, 
And founded on a Rock ; 
All her promises are sure; 
Her bulwarks who can shock?

Count her every precious shrine; 

Tell, to after ages, tell — 
Fortified by power divine, 

The Church can never fail. 
2 Zion's God is all our own, 

Who on his love rely; 
We his pard'ning love have known, 

And live to Christ, and die. 
To the New Jerusalem 

He our faithful guide shall be; 
Him we claim, and rest in him. 

Through all eternity.

From many an ancient river, 
From many a palmy plain,

Their land from error's chain. 

2 What though the spicy breezes 

Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; 
Though every prospect pleases. 

And only man is vile? 
In vain with lavish kindness 

The gifts of God are strewn ; 
The heathen in his blindness 

Bows down to wood and stone. 

3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted 

With wisdom from on high; 
Shall we to men benighted 

The lamp of life deny? 
Salvation — salvation I 

The joyful sound proclaim, 
Till earth's remotest nation 

Has learned Messiah's name. 

4 Waft, waft, ye winds, his story. 

And you, ye waters, roll. 
Till, like a sea of glory. 

It spreads from pole to pole ; 
Till o'er our ransomed nature 

The Lamb for sinners slain, 
Kedeemer, King, Creator, 

In bliss returns to reign. 

225 The Better Portion. J.& G. p. 155. 

RISE, my soul, and stretch thy wings ; 
Thy better portion trace;

Sun and moon and stars decay ; 

Time shall soon this earth remove; 
Rise, my soul, and haste away 
To seats prepared above.

Nor stay in all their course;

So a soul that *s born of God, 

Pants to view his glorious face; 
Upward tends to his abode. 

To rest in his embrace. 

3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn; 

Press onward to the prize;

Triumphant in the skies;

Indulge me with patience to wait at thy throne. 
And find, even now, a sweet foretaste of home.

But in thy bright image to rise from the tomb,

SOWING the seed by the daylight fair, 
Sowing the seed by the noonday glare, 
Sowing the seed by the fading light. 
Sowing the seed in the solemn night; 
what shall the harvest be ? 

Cho. — Sown in the darkness or sown in the light, 
Sown in our weakness or sown in our might, 
Gathered in time or eternity. 
Sure, ah, sure will the harvest be. 

2 Sowing the seed by the wayside high, 
Sowing the seed on the rocks to die. 
Sowing the seed where the thorns will spoil. 
Sowing the seed in the fertile soil, 

what shall the harvest be? 

3 Sowing the seed with an aching heart, 
Sowing the seed while the tear-drops start, 
Sowing in hope till the reapers come, 
Sladly to gather the harvest home; 

what shall the harvest be?

rpO-DAY the Savior calls: 
J_ Ye wand'rers, come; 
0, ye benighted souls, 
Why longer roam? 

2 To-day the Savior calls; 

listen now; 
Within these sacred walls 

To Jesus bow. i 

3 The Spirit calls to-day: , 

Yield to his power; 
grieve him not away, I 

'T is mercy's hour. j 

237 AU Paid. J. A G. p. 158. 

I HEAR the Savior say, 
Thy strength indeed is small; | 

Child of weakness, watch and pray, i 

Find in me thy ail in all. [ 

Chorus. — Jesus paid it all, 

All to him I owe; 
Sin had left a crimson stain: 
He washed it white as snow. 

2 For nothing good have I 

Whereby thy grace to claim— 
I Ml wash my garment white 
In the blood of Calvary's Lamb. 

3 When from my dying bed 

My ransomed soul shall rise. 
Then "Jesus paid it all" 
Shall rend the vaulted skies. 

4 And when before the throne 

I stand in him complete, 
I'll lay my trophies down, 
All down at Jesus' feet.

240 T^hat for Me ? J. A G. p. 1S8L 

I gave my life for thee, 
My precious blood I shed. 
That thou might'st ransorn'd be. 
And quickened from the dead; 
I gave, I gave my life for thee, 
What ha&t thou given for me ? 

2 My Father^s house of light, 

My glory-circled throne, 
I left, for earthly night, 

For wanderings sad and lone: 
Heft, I left it all for thee: 
Hast thou left aught for me? 

3 And I have brought to thee, 

Down from my home above. 
Salvation full and free. 

My pardon and my lore; 
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee. 
What hast thou brought to me? 



241 J^st as I am. J. & Or. p. 158 

JUST as I am, without one plea, 
But that thy blood was shed for me. 
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee, 
Lamb of God I I come, I come! 

2 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind, 
Sight, riches, healing of the mind. 
Yea, all I need, in thee to find, 

Lamb of God! I come, I come I 

3 Just as I am — thou wilt receive; 

Wilt welcome, pardan, cleanse, relieve: 
Because thy promise I believe, , 

Lamb of God I I come, I come! j

242 Blessed Union. J. & G. p. 158. 

► LEST be the tie that binds 
Our hearts in Christian lovej 
The fellowship of kindred minds 
Is like to that above. 

2 Before our father's throne, 
We pour our ardent prayers: 

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, — 
Our comforts and our cares, 

3 We share our mutual woes : 
Our mutual burdens bear; 

And often for each other flows 
The sympathizing tear. 



243 Loving Kindness. J. & Gr. p. 158. 

AWAKE, my soul, to joyful lays. 
And sing the great Redeemer's praise : 
He justly claims a song from me. 
His loving kindness, how free I 

2 He saw me ruined in the fall, 

Yet loved me notwithstanding all; 
He saved me from my lost estate, 
His loving kindness, how great I 

3 Often I feel my sinful heart 
Prone from my Jesus to depart; 
But though I have him oft forgot. 
His loving kindness changes not. 



244 Sweet Hour of Prayer. J. & G. p. 15S 

SWEET hour of prayer I 
Sweet hour of prayer I 
That calls me from a world of care, 
And bids me at my Father's throne. 
Make all my wants and wishes kifown; 



150 Jasper and Gold. 

In seasons of distress and grief, 
My soul has often found relief, 
And oft escaped the tempter's snare, 
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 

2 Sweet hour of prayer I 

Sweet hour of prayer I 
Thy wings shall my petition bear, 
To him whose truth and faithfulness 
Engage the waiting soul to bless. 
And since he bids me seek his face, 
Believe his Word and trust his grace, 
I '11 cast on him my every care. 
And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray'r.
